Facilities staff store digital building plans in an unsanctioned consumer cloud drive that IT cannot see or govern. Which control approach best restores visibility and policy enforcement over that shadow SaaS use?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Shadow SaaS is like storing blueprints in a self-storage unit nobody inventoried. A CASB is the city inspector who finds those units, sees what’s inside, and applies the rules—without pretending a signed paper promise is enough.
Full Explanation
CASB solutions provide discovery, visibility, and policy enforcement for sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud services. They help close gaps when business units store sensitive assets such as building plans outside IT-managed repositories. Blanket bans without alternatives drive further shadow use; USB sprawl worsens confidentiality and integrity risk.
